MPC 1/72 Savoia-Marchetti S.M.79 (SM-79), 1101-100 plastic model kit

1/72 1101-100 MPC Savoia-Marchetti S.M.79 (SM-79)

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Sealed NM

Still factory sealed. Features moving rudder, elevator and ailerons, cockpit detail and torpedo loadout. This kit is from quality Airfix molds and is one of the MPC issues with custom decals and the unique clear modular display stand. Dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s. Note that this issue still has 'Model Products by Craft Master' under the MPC logo. Before this, MPC was marketing Airfix kits under the Craftmaster name in the USA. This continued for several issues and was finally discontinued although MPC continued to distribute Airfix and their own models. The SM-79 was considered an excellent aircraft and one of the best land based torpedo bombers of the war. Designed and serving as an airliner from 1934 onward, 100 were supplied to the Nationalist Air Force for the Spanish Civil War where they served as day and night bombers. The aircraft performed well in the Med and against Malta, sinking many allied ships.
